I was heading toward Manitou Springs on Highway 25 and I passed that foreboding Air Force Academy and suddenly spotted a sign that said "Focus on the Family Visitor Center." I turned off and saw no sign of it but kept driving - passed exurban tract housing for as far as the eye could see - no business places other than malls - a brand-new hospital.

I was ready to give up and then I saw it - Focus on the Family. Parked my nondescript rental car and I had no identifying clothing nor accessories that might give me away as a liberal or secularist. I was able to acquire a special sticker that would allow me to take a self-tour and it was really quite impressive (see photos of the very literal art gallery, the Founder, the amusement park where there is no magic but it's still kind of fun.) My niece and nephew have been taken there on school field trips (public school) and my brother tells me that the land was given for free by the City of Colorado Springs.

When I came out, a black cloud suddenly developed in the sky, with bolts of lightning. I hopped into my rental car but the parking lot was so immense that I couldn't find my way off the grounds. Finally I drove onto a road but realized that I was going the wrong way, with no means of exit, and cars were heading toward me at full speed. I suddenly utilized my power of Free Will to drive over the median to safety! I did get in where the Dutch cinematographers were kicked out. Dsc09872
